Brampton Guardian

Peel Police are looking for a 17-year-old high school student after another student was slashed at Cardinal Leger Catholic Secondary School this morning.
At 11:04 a.m. on the first day of school, the 17-year-old victim was slashed in the school yard on Mary Street.
Peel Regional Police brought dogs and the Tactical Unit to the scene to search for the suspect, and Leger, along with two elementary schools in the area— McHugh and St. Mary's— were put in a "hold and secure" situation until 12:30 p.m.
The teenage victim will recover from the wound, according to police. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Police say they have identified a suspect and are currently trying to locate him.
The school sent a letter home to parents.
"This is an unfortunate way to start the school year and it is not typical of the safe, caring, healthy and inclusive environment that we strive to foster and maintain," the letter from the principal states. "it is my goal to keep parents and guardians informed of events and activities, both in our school and in the community, that impact us."
